Leak Suggests iPhone 7s Could Come with a Welcome Speaker Upgrade

As compared to the brand-new iPhone 8, the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus are likely to receive more subtle improvements, including wireless charging possible thanks to the use of glass for the body.

But the closer we get to the launch date of the new iPhones, the more information emerges on the upgrades to take place under the hood of the 7s and 7s Plus, and a leak today suggests the speakers could be one particular area of focus for tech giant Apple.

Photos posted on China’s Weibo allegedly show the iPhone 7s and some of the device’s internals, including the speaker at the top. While at first glance there doesn’t seem to be too much to see in this photo, the speaker area under the front panel appears to be eating much more space at the top of the screen, which could be an indication Apple is working on a substantial speaker upgrade.
